    “Garden is not enclosed !”

    ! Should place a gate at the decking because of stream and make clear not enclosed for people with dogs in your description Did not cater for disabled people! At the very least there should have been hand rails at the hall steps, in the shower / bathrooms Beds way too hard. We use a hard bed at home but these beat it Did not appreciate the email from Lakelovers on Monday morning telling us to pick up after dog in garden, set the dishwasher night before, very condescending.

Consider re-wording as we found it very insulting as principled respectful holiday visitors

    - Geraldine, September 2024

    Thank you for the feedback. The decking is not enclosed but the surrounding area is: It’s fenced off from the Pastureland on one side with the Riverbank on the other. Many guests appreciate the open, easy access to the river bank and picnic area. The building is not advertised as suitable or assessed for significant-disability accessibility. The building is accurately described as a single story building with only 2 interior steps (total rise 37cms) so does suit and is frequently used by guests with limited mobility. Thank you for pointing out the beds were too hard for you - the first guests out of perhaps 750 to have mentioned this to us. We’ll certainly look into this. The email from Lakelovers was a generic email sent out to all departing guests asking for help to enable speedy changeovers between visitors. Arriving guest benefit from this. In no way was it meant to be condescending and most guests are happy to help. Sadly, we do get irresponsible dog owners who do not clear up after their pet so the email’s purpose was simply meant to be a gentle, diplomatic reminder. We’re sorry you did not see it as that.

About the location

KENDAL

Windermere 8 miles.

A historic market town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, the fascinating Quaker Tapestry, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
